A bisque is a creamy and smooth soup that can be made with lobster or other seafood, but this is a flavorful vegetarian version.
Serves 8
Preheat oven to 400 to 425 degrees.
Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Spread butternut squash, cauliflower, onion and apple in one layer on a large baking sheet, if desired you can spray veggies with non-stick cooking spray. Season with Italian seasoning.
Roast vegetables for 30-45 minutes, or until fork-tender, stirring frequently with a spatula or large spoon to even out the browning. Remove from oven.
Let roasted vegetable mixture cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Put half the mixture in a food processor (or blender). Add the cinnamon, ginger, salt, one clove of garlic, 1 ¼ cup vegetable stock and 1 tablespoon maple syrup and process until smooth. Add contents from food processor to a large pot (do this step twice if your food processor cannot adequately handle this quantity of ingredients). If the soup appears too thick, add more vegetable stock.
Heat soup until it simmers, stirring frequently (about 10 minutes). Garnish with scallions if desired and serve.
